I am a creative director and graphic designer with 20 years of experience and have worked for some of Scotland's most reputable design agencies. I believe in intelligent, ideas-led design. To me, great design isn't just about making things look pretty.

Over my career, I have gained expertise in almost every area of graphic design for brand, print, digital, exhibitions, and environments. My aim is to provide clients with 'big agency ideas' without the big agency price tag.

I have significant experience in managing large-scale design projects. If required, I can bring together a trusted network of skilled creatives and technical experts to help my clients achieve their goals. This tailored approach ensures a high-quality end product that also delivers results.

I follow the UK Design Council's 'Double Diamond' approach, which is a widely recognized representation of the design process. This process helps me (and my clients) to better comprehend the design obstacles and find solutions that are most applicable to the target market.
